Product details
Overview
MSP430FR2355TRSMR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power FRAM microcontroller with 32KB program FRAM, 4KB RAM, and four Smart Analog Combo (SAC-L3) modules supporting configurable op-amps and 12-bit DACs. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V across –40°C to 105°C and integrates a 12-bit 200 ksps ADC, two enhanced comparators, dual eUSCI_A (UART/IrDA/SPI) and dual eUSCI_B (SPI/I²C), and Timer_B3/TB7 for precise timing control - deployed in battery-powered sensor transmitters and industrial circuit breakers.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430FR2355TRSMR datasheet, MSP430FR2355TRSMR pinout, MSP430FR2355TRSMR application, or MSP430FR2355TRSMR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 32-pin VQFN (RSM) package, SAC-L3 analog configurability, FRAM endurance (10¹⁵ writes), LPM3.5 current (620 nA), and support for Manchester encoding and RTC-based data logging in extended-temperature environments.
Technical Context
The MSP430FR2355TRSMR implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with 24-MHz DCO+FLL clock system, ±1% accuracy at room temperature, and fast wake-up (<10 µs) from low-power modes. Its memory architecture unifies 32KB FRAM (with ECC and write protection) and 4KB SRAM, enabling robust nonvolatile data logging without flash wear-out.
Four SAC-L3 modules each provide rail-to-rail OA/PGA/DAC functionality with programmable gain (×1–×33 noninverting, ×1–×32 inverting), built-in 12-bit reference DAC, and selectable high-/low-power modes - eliminating external signal-chain components in sensor front-end designs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430FR2353TRSMR | 16KB FRAM, 2KB RAM, same SAC-L3/ADC/peripherals; identical 32-pin VQFN package and pinout. | Lower memory capacity suits simpler sensor nodes without extensive data logging or complex firmware. | Select when application firmware fits in 16KB FRAM and 2KB RAM; retains full peripheral compatibility and layout reuse. |
| MSP430FR2155TRSMR | Same FRAM/RAM size (32KB/4KB) but lacks SAC-L3 modules; retains 12-bit ADC, comparators, and serial interfaces. | Targeted at cost-sensitive applications needing basic sensing and comms, but not programmable analog signal chains. | Choose if SAC-L3 functionality is unnecessary; offers lower unit cost while maintaining memory and timing capabilities. |
Compared with MSP430FR2355TRSMR, the MSP430FR2353TRSMR provides identical analog/peripheral integration at reduced memory density, while the MSP430FR2155TRSMR removes SAC-L3 entirely - making the MSP430FR2355TRSMR uniquely suited for applications requiring on-chip programmable op-amps and DACs without external components.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MSP430FR2355TRSMR?
The MSP430FR2355TRSMR is rated for operation from –40°C to 105°C. This extended temperature range is validated per TI's production testing and enables reliable deployment in demanding environments such as circuit breaker enclosures, rooftop HVAC units, and industrial sensor housings - where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial-grade limits. The MSP430FR2355TRSMR maintains full FRAM, ADC, and SAC-L3 functionality across this range.
How does the Smart Analog Combo (SAC-L3) in the MSP430FR2355TRSMR differ from standard op-amps?
The SAC-L3 modules in the MSP430FR2355TRSMR integrate op-amp, PGA, and 12-bit DAC functions in a single configurable block. Each SAC-L3 supports rail-to-rail I/O, programmable gain (×1–×33 noninverting), built-in offset DAC, and selectable high-/low-power modes - unlike discrete op-amps, which require external resistors, DACs, and power management. This integration reduces PCB area and component count in sensor signal chains.
What low-power mode current does the MSP430FR2355TRSMR achieve with RTC active?
In LPM3.5 mode with the 32.768-kHz crystal oscillator and RTC counter enabled, the MSP430FR2355TRSMR draws 620 nA (typical) at 3 V with SVS enabled. This ultra-low current allows multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in applications like wireless smoke detectors and environmental monitors - while retaining time-stamped data logging capability via the RTC and FRAM.
Is the MSP430FR2355TRSMR pin-compatible with other devices in the FR235x family?
Yes - the MSP430FR2355TRSMR shares identical pinout and package (32-pin VQFN, RSM) with the MSP430FR2353TRSMR, MSP430FR2155TRSMR, and MSP430FR2153TRSMR. All four devices have the same signal mapping on each pin, enabling hardware reuse across memory and feature variants without PCB redesign.
Does the MSP430FR2355TRSMR support Manchester encoding for optical communication?
Yes - the MSP430FR2355TRSMR includes a dedicated Manchester codec (MFM) peripheral. It supports both transmit (MFM.TX) and receive (MFM.RX) functions on dedicated pins (P5.1 and P5.0), enabling direct interfacing with infrared or fiber-optic physical layers without external encoding logic - commonly used in toll tag and optical module applications.
